This project builds upon the foundation of the browser-use, which is designed to make websites accessible for AI agents.

We would like to officially thank WarmShao for his contribution to this project.

WebUI: is built on Gradio and supports most of browser-use functionalities. This UI is designed to be user-friendly and enables easy interaction with the browser agent.

Expanded LLM Support: We've integrated support for various Large Language Models (LLMs), including: Google, OpenAI, Azure OpenAI, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Ollama etc. And we plan to add support for even more models in the future.

Custom Browser Support: You can use your own browser with our tool, eliminating the need to re-login to sites or deal with other authentication challenges. This feature also supports high-definition screen recording.

Persistent Browser Sessions: You can choose to keep the browser window open between AI tasks, allowing you to see the complete history and state of AI interactions.

Installation Guide

Option 1: Local Installation

Read the quickstart guide or follow the steps below to get started.

Step 1: Clone the Repository

bash git clone https://github.com/browser-use/web-ui.git cd web-ui

Step 2: Set Up Python Environment

We recommend using uv for managing the Python environment.

Using uv (recommended): bash uv venv --python 3.11

Activate the virtual environment: - Windows (Command Prompt): cmd .venv\Scripts\activate - Windows (PowerShell): powershell .\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 - macOS/Linux: bash source .venv/bin/activate

Step 3: Install Dependencies

Install Python packages: bash uv pip install -r requirements.txt

Install Browsers in playwright. bash playwright install --with-deps Or you can install specific browsers by running: bash playwright install chromium --with-deps

Step 4: Configure Environment

1. Create a copy of the example environment file:
2. Windows (Command Prompt): bash copy .env.example .env
3. macOS/Linux/Windows (PowerShell): bash cp .env.example .env
4. Open .env in your preferred text editor and add your API keys and other settings

Step 5: Enjoy the web-ui

1. Run the WebUI: bash python webui.py --ip 127.0.0.1 --port 7788
2. Access the WebUI: Open your web browser and navigate to http://127.0.0.1:7788.
3. Using Your Own Browser(Optional):
   • Set BROWSER_PATH to the executable path of your browser and BROWSER_USER_DATA to the user data directory of your browser. Leave BROWSER_USER_DATA empty if you want to use local user data.
     • Windows env BROWSER_PATH="C:\Program Files\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe" BROWSER_USER_DATA="C:\Users\YourUsername\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data" > Note: Replace YourUsername with your actual Windows username for Windows systems.
     • Mac env BROWSER_PATH="/Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome" BROWSER_USER_DATA="/Users/YourUsername/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome"
   • Close all Chrome windows
   • Open the WebUI in a non-Chrome browser, such as Firefox or Edge. This is important because the persistent browser context will use the Chrome data when running the agent.
   • Check the "Use Own Browser" option within the Browser Settings.

Option 2: Docker Installation

Prerequisites

• Docker and Docker Compose installed
  • Docker Desktop (For Windows/macOS)
  • Docker Engine and Docker Compose (For Linux)

Step 1: Clone the Repository

bash git clone https://github.com/browser-use/web-ui.git cd web-ui

Step 2: Configure Environment

1. Create a copy of the example environment file:
2. Windows (Command Prompt): bash copy .env.example .env
3. macOS/Linux/Windows (PowerShell): bash cp .env.example .env
4. Open .env in your preferred text editor and add your API keys and other settings

Step 3: Docker Build and Run

bash docker compose up --build For ARM64 systems (e.g., Apple Silicon Macs), please run follow command: bash TARGETPLATFORM=linux/arm64 docker compose up --build

Step 4: Enjoy the web-ui and vnc

• Web-UI: Open http://localhost:7788 in your browser
• VNC Viewer (for watching browser interactions): Open http://localhost:6080/vnc.html
  • Default VNC password: "youvncpassword"
  • Can be changed by setting VNC_PASSWORD in your .env file
